1951 Chevrolet Styleline Deluxe

A 1951 Chevrolet Styleline Deluxe 4-door, 6-passenger sedan, model [JK-2103], painted in a very original-looking two-tone combination of “Trophy Blue”/”Moonlite Cream”, sits awaiting restoration in a garage behind a classic car restoration workshop on the Ionian island of Kefalonia, Greece. The car was imported to the island as a new car in the 1950s and was used as a commercial taxicab. These big “Bathtub Chevvies” were quite popular in Greece and many Mediterranean countries back in the day, being that they could quite easily accommodate up to six passengers. This example is one of 380,270 Styleline Deluxe 4-door sedans built for 1951.

Although this car is missing its original inline-6-cylinder engine, the car is going to be restored someday soon. I can believe it will be, being that this was the best-kept car at this restoration business, and a worker told me that the interior had been recently reupholstered.

I was initially out on the hunt to finally find these other two 1951 Chevy sedans… (flic.kr/p/25yS26U) Both of which were also used as taxicabs in the 1950s and had been on the island ever since. These cars were moved from a picturesque location at the side of a mountain roughly around seven years ago, to a Fiat specialist garage about an hour south. The mechanics told me they had been sold as parts donors to the owner of this restoration business, presumably to use on the garaged example. However, when I arrived at the new location, I was told the owner had died two years ago, and they do not know of the location of where the rusted examples are now. Still, although I had not found two rusty 1951 Chevrolets, it was nice to find at least one, in much better condition!
